RACE-ROW speaker Greg Ritchie will feature at a black-tie Adelaide Test dinner despite using the "Kaffir" slur and anti-Muslim jokes at Brisbane events.

The South Australian Cricket Association said Ritchie would appear as planned at the $160-a-ticket member event on November 20 conflicting with Cricket Australia's directive for the 52-year-old not to speak at further venues this summer.

"SACA does not support or endorse racist or offensive commentary. Greg Ritchie and Barry Richards were booked as guest speakers at this year's Test Match Dinner some months ago and have been asked to speak specifically about fielding and share their views about the game's greatest catches," said SACA spokeswoman Rebekah Rosser.

However, a Cricket Australia spokesperson said 30-Test batsman Ritchie had been advised not to pursue additional functions at Test grounds this summer after triggering a race furore.

"We have spoken to Greg Ritchie and we are obviously very disappointed at the comments made at the Gabba Members' luncheon on Friday," the spokesperson said.

"There is no place for racism in sport on or off the field and we are fully supportive of the ICC's anti-racism policy."

Ritchie admits to using the term "Kaffir" during an Australia v South Africa first-Test function at Brisbane's Gabba ground last Friday, and the matter could yet be subject to legal action.

"Kaffir" is an offensive term for a black person, most common in South Africa.

Former Australian batsman Ritchie was also reported to have delivered an offensive joke about Muslims and to have called former Pakistan skipper Imran Khan a "knob".

South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper reported that Ritchie recalled an exchange with teammate Kepler Wessels, who was next to bat for Queensland against the West Indies in a 1980 tour. Ritchie said: "Hey Kepler, you're not going to call this lot kaffirs today, are you?"

Ritchie claimed the anecdote was purely "a joke".

"I am aware of what it is going on; I have told the story 500 times during the course of my speaking career," he said.

The Sunday Times yesterday reported that former Australian and South Africa batsman Wessels was considering legal avenues after being included in Ritchie's speech.
